Additional request to root document in waterfall when embedding video in background of column

Asked by Dresden Hepcats e.V. (c/o Michael Fiedler) 2 years ago Last activity 2 years ago

Hello,

we have implemented a video in the properties of a row (see https://pasteboard.co/dt0QORzCkjRF.jpg). This results in additional request in chrome dev tools waterfall, which takes additional time and which we would like to prevent (see https://pasteboard.co/ZuwyjrX1vVcC.jpg). Also it does not really make sense to me, since the video is called an treamed on antoher request. This is also true when embedding a youtube video. Removing the video immediately fixes the behaviour.

Link to simplified example

My questions:

  1. Can you reproduce and explain the behaviour?
  2. Is there a work-around available?

Best regards,

Sascha

Hello Toufiqur,

I marked the issue in the waterfall. It is a additional request which seems weird to me. THis just occurs when embedding the video in the backgroud of a row.

In terms of performance optimization it would also be helpful to be able to specify a poster, to quickly load an image an avoid delays for video load (https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_video_poster.asp). Poster option is already in the code but cannot be configured for the video in sp pagebuilder frontend-wise. Or did I miss anything.

<video class="section-bg-video" autoplay muted playsinline loop poster="/"><source src="/https://dresden-hepcats.de/images/06_Others/2023_06_08_Solo_Jazz_Kurs_Big_Apple_Teaser_50MB.mp4" type="video/mp4"></video>

Also is webm support planned for integrating videos with SP Pagebuilder?

Best regards,

Sascha

Hello Toufiq,

ok got it. Setting an image, at the same time specifying a video and leaving video section "activated" puts in a the poster image and also resolves the issue of the additional request to the root document (this has been due to not specifying an image).

<video class="section-bg-video" autoplay muted playsinline loop poster="/images/06_Others/2023_12_31_og_graph_image_home.jpg"><source src="/https://dresden-hepcats.de/images/06_Others/2023_06_08_Solo_Jazz_Kurs_Big_Apple_Teaser_50MB.mp4" type="video/mp4"></video>

Whatsoever, this maybe an improvement for future development as this is not really straightforward from a user perspective? I think the relation between backgrund image und video, does not become clear ux-wise, at least for me. Also, when implementing a video with a normal add-on the is a dedicated section where you specify a poster.

Anyway, many thanks for resolving this :-).

Best regards,

Sascha
